Special Issue of Multimedia Tools and Applications

Advanced Issues in Smart and Intelligent Multimedia Platform for Pervasive Systems, Applications and Services
Introduction
Recent advances in various computing and telecommunication fields, along with the proliferation of multimedia-capable mobile devices, such as laptops, portable media players, personal digital assistants, and smart phones, have stimulated the development of pervasive multimedia services/applications. These upcoming services and applications essentially require the smart and intelligent platform that is able to provide noble development and operation tools for accommodating the pervasive system, applications, and services. This special issue solicits original research papers addressing research challenges in all areas of smart and intelligent multimedia platform for pervasive systems, applications, and services.

Topics
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Multimedia platform architecture for pervasive systems, applications, and services Wireless and mobile multimedia platform for pervasive systems, applications, and services Distributed multimedia networks for pervasive systems, applications, and services Sensor networks and ad hoc networks for pervasive systems, applications, and services Multimedia and P2P for pervasive systems, applications, and services Architectures, protocols, and algorithms for pervasive systems, applications, and services Ubiquitous/seamless content sharing for pervasive systems, applications, and services Multimedia content distribution and consumption for pervasive systems, applications, and services Adaptive multimedia interfaces/platforms for pervasive systems, applications, and services Multimedia platform security for pervasive systems, applications, and services Content protection, authentication, and access control for pervasive systems, applications, and services Security Issues on Smart and Intelligent Pervasive Systems, Applications and Services
